Tips for a successful resume & referral at Amazon (Abhishek's guide)

🚨 (Update June 2025) 🚨 This little post has gained a huge amount of interest, for which I am very grateful. However, it's been overwhelming to keep up with 40-50 reachouts per week. To make things manageable, I am selectively focusing on referrals for full-time Applied Scientist and Data Scientist roles only. The rest of this post still contains tips for other tech roles (Software Engineer, Data Engineer, BIE, etc) and details on the hiring process in general; I hope these are valuable for you. Good luck on your journey!


I am always happy to provide referrals for folks applying to Amazon for a variety of roles. Amazon is a FAANG, so I know that landing a job there can make a big difference to someone's career, and I am happy to spend the time to provide a referral.

If you are interested, please read the points below very carefully before reaching out (I only accept requests via LinkedIn). This is to save time on both sides 😄 I usually check around
